Gabe, you were the very best neighbor turned friend/Uncle Gabo—that we could have ever asked for. We are missing you more than words can express, but having known you has truly been a blessing.

Your presence, your kindness, and your friendship will forever be engraved in our hearts. We will never forget you, and it has been a pleasure knowing and loving your family.

Doris, you’re stuck with us 🫶🏾.

To your mom, sister, uncle and Onyx—we are here for you always, whenever you need anything just let us know.

We are Forever Queen St. Finest.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Botero and Jennifer, as a former colleague of Gabe's, I share in the shock and pain of his loss. Gabe was a genuine and purposeful soul who shared his zest for life with so many. His quick wit and charm lit up a room. His lived experience that allowed him to climb to the top with ambition, grit, and talent was filled with courage and inspiration. Thank you for sharing Gabe with us. I will be praying for you and your family and wishing you peace and strength in the weeks and months ahead.

My condolences to Gabriel's family. Gabe was one of the very first people I met at Dolcezza Sunday Run Club. It can be intimidating joining a large run club, so I was grateful that Gabe went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He leaves behind a legacy that reflects his generous spirit and deep love of community.
